Permanent Residency

Building Dreams, Building Nations: Permanent Residency.

Obtaining permanent residency (PR) in Canada is a significant step towards becoming a permanent resident and enjoying many of the rights and privileges that citizens have, except the right to vote. Here are some common pathways to achieve permanent residency in Canada:

express entry

The Express Entry system is a points-based immigration system that manages applications for three federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class.
Candidates are assessed based on factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability.

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Provinces and territories in Canada have their own immigration programs known as Provincial Nominee Programs. Each program is tailored to the specific needs of the province or territory.
If you receive a provincial nomination, you can apply for permanent residency through Express Entry or the paper-based process.

Family Class Sponsorship

If you have a family member who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, they may be able to sponsor you for permanent residency. This includes spouses, common-law partners, parents, and dependent children.

Caregiver Program

Caregivers who have provided care to children, the elderly, or individuals with medical needs may be eligible for permanent residency through the caregiver program.

Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP)

This program is designed to attract skilled workers and international graduates to the Atlantic provinces of Canada (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island).

Start-Up Visa Program

If you have a business idea and can secure support from a designated Canadian venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator, you may be eligible for permanent residency through the Start-Up Visa Program.

It’s important to note that the immigration policies and programs may change, so it’s advisable to check the official website of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or consult with a qualified immigration professional for the most up-to-date information. Additionally, meeting the eligibility criteria and having the necessary documentation are crucial for a successful PR application.
